FOUR SATURDAY RUNNERS FOR US

Four Saturday runners now after the scratching of Bermadez with Buffalo River in Brisbane and Tokorangi, Keats and General Firepower all racing at Caulfield.

Buffalo River runs in race seven at Eagle Farm, the feature BRC Sprint over 1300 metres with Opie Bosson.

“We’re happy, he’s nice and fresh and in good order,” Mike said.

“He looks terrific and the track has dried right out but still with a little bit of give in it.

“I do think he will run well and he’s definitely a winning chance in what looks an even race without a standout favourite.”

Closer to home and General Firepower is the first to go at Caulfield in the third race over 1600 metres with Michael Dee aboard from barrier two.

“He’s in good order and has drawn nicely in barrier two,” Mike said.

“There doesn’t look like there are too many that go forward so from the draw he’s there to get an ideal run.

“He’s nice and fit and provided there are not too many pressing for the early lead I think he’s a great winning chance.”

Tokorangi (pictured) runs in race eight over 1600 metres under Logan McNeil but draw wide in barrier 14.

“She’s done well since the trip to Adelaide and Logan’s claim is going to be a big help, especially from the draw,” Mike said.

“I’m just hoping there’s genuine speed on and if there is then I will not be at all surprised to see her round them up in the home straight and win again.”

Keats rounds out our day in the last race over 1400 metres.

“He’s ready to go after a couple of solid jumpouts in what looks a handy race,” Mike said.

“He looks a bit burly and will improve on whatever he does today.

“The good draw helps and this looks a nice race to get his preparation started.”
